Got Doctrine?

Has the Reformation concluded? Well according to:

gotdoctrine.blogspot.com/

it has not.

This is a hyper-Calvinist website that basically wants to slam all other religions, Christian or not. Especially Catholicism, one of it's bugaboos.

In fact, it is so anti-Catholic, that it bashes "The Passion of the Christ." Calling it a "Jesuit" film.
Actually, this is a movie based as closely on the scriptures as possible. How one can call it "Jesuit," one has to make up things that are not there. Like those people who claim there is no denunciation of homosexual acts in the Bible. Or those who make Christ to be some kind of proto-communist.

Yes, belief in Christ the Savior is the best way to get to heaven. However, there are many different boats that can take you to heaven - albeit the fact that there are many, many more boats that will take you to hell. These people are still stuck sometime in the 17th century.

And not only in the religious sense, either. I have never heard of an American supporting the Orange side in the Irish conflict, but apparently, here one is. I don't get why these Irishmen don't realize they are all Irish anyway and unify Ireland - despite religious differences (remember, in America, most devout Catholics and devout Protestants get along with each other quite well).

And he certainly takes a spoof site quite seriously (see www.jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm, to which he links). If you follow this link, you can find the "Wierd Al" backward masking of "Nature Trail to Hell" (Satan east cheeze whiz!).

There is a lot on this site with which I agree. Specifically, that as a Christian, Christ must be central to your life (duh!). And it does attack other people who engage in anti-Christian bigotry.

However, this site promotes an anti-Catholic bigotry that was prominent almost two generations ago - which has now come back to bite other devout Christians in the ass. The group "Americans United for Seperation of Church and State" started out as "Protestants United for the Seperation of Church and State" and actively opposed Kennedy's election in 1960 merely because he was a Catholic. While I oppose the election of any Kennedy to office, their church affiliation is not the reason why (it's their bad ideas about policy).

As Benjamin Franklin said, "Either we shall hang together, or we will hang seperately."
